Chapter 82: He's Out
Nasca Namrium Ulmeria United Eastern Empire,
Main Castle,
Throne Room,
Rudra POV,
Rudra was sitting on his throne with his legs crossed and his head resting on his hand, his aura and demeanor was that of a sovereign and his clothing screamed royalty, a young extremely handsome man with a small smirk on his face. He was observing the current ongoing argument taking place in his throne room, he sighed, "These fools forget they are in the presence of their king." he muttered out looking towards Velgrynd who simply smiled at him, Rudra was a man on par with the Demon Lord Guy Crimson himself so he had the power to back up his arrogance.
Calgurio a thin man in his forties with an eyepatch glared at the beast man in the room. "Don't you understand?! Whether our numbers are large or not in this world that doesn't matter!" he shouted angrily, this idiot was saying that they could simply steam roll over the forces of the newly formed Roman Empire, the home nation of the Church of Calamity.
Gladim folded his arms and smirked, "My oh my, is the so called general Calgurio panicking?" he asked amused, he couldn't understand why they needed to be wary of weaklings. "Not panicking you dumbass! I am genuinely concerned! We have what a few thousand S ranked individuals among us?! Their entire army is comprised of those!" he shouted angrily, they needed to be wary of them! While the Empire's victory was practically guaranteed they were going to have too many losses!
An old man with very long white hair and beard, Gadra the imperial court magician looked at the two, "Calgurio speaks the truth, we must be wary." he voiced out his own opinion, he perfectly understood that an army of that caliber would put up greater resistance than anything else. A deep yet charming voice rang out, "They have demon lord class individuals among them." the imperial head of the intelligence gatherig corps, Tatsuya Kondo voiced out his opinion, he had information regarding almost everything.
Minute who was standing nearby laughed, he was one of the people who was a general as well as Royal guard of Rudra, there were a total of hundred of them and each was on par with a True Demon Lord, according to them. "A Demon Lord you say? Those entitled bugs don't stand a chance!" he said laughing even loudly, weaklings on the level of clayman were but bugs to be squashed!
Damrada hit his hand on the wall bringing attention to himself, he was a member of the Royal Guard too, "You fools! You stand in front of the Emperor!" he said a bit angry, these idiots were ranting on and on without being aware of their surroundings.
Rudra slightly smiled, "So you finally realize that?" he asked amused, he was here from the start yet they were rambling like fools. All the men in the room turned silent and kneeled to their Emperor, in their little argument they had forgotten where they were! "Forgive us my lord." was asked in tandem, no matter who or how arrogant they may be they were extremely loyal to their Emperor.
It was at this moment that the Generalissimo which was actually Velgrynd but they didn't know that voiced out her opinion, "No matter who or what they are, they shall all fall to the might of our Empire." she said, her voice containing arrogance of course she was fully aware of Galahad but now she believed that she would be able to overcome him as well, after all she had gotten much more stronger in the past millennia though she forgot to account for the fact that he too had gotten stronger.
All of them nodded their heads in agreement, all arguments were made just for a better plan they had no doubt that in the end the Empire would be the victor, Calgurio was only trying to minimize the casualties they would have during that endeavor. Rudra stood up from his throne and waved his hands, "This changes nothing, we invade in an year's time. The world shall rest within my palm." he ordered sitting back down as everyone left, they were gearing for war and with Veldora now no longer a problem they would invade and conquer the rest of the world!

Several Days Before Previously Mentioned Events,
Galahad POV,
Galahad sat on his seat and yawned, in front of him was basically a mountain of meat related foods. The Walpurgis had officially concluded and now they were just having an after party. Why meat? Well as soon as Galahad realized he didn't actually need any food he only ate meat, it was much more delicious after all! In other words he had eaten nothing but meat for the past two millennia and he ate a lot, like a lot lot.
He chuckled, yeah fuck those animal rights activists and vegan extremists. You can't stop a man from eating his meat! Guy walked over holding a glass of wine in her hand smirking, "Oye you sure you can eat all that?" she asked amused, that was a lot of food! Galahad looked at her with a lazy smirk, "Heh." with that he started eating an in a few minutes all the food was gone!
Guy laughed dryly, "Forget I asked." she said drinking her wine, what would happen if Galahad all of a sudden became curious about eating dragon meat? Milim laughed and patted Galahad's shoulder making groan, "This guy can eat a lot! Even I lost an eating competition!" she said smiling widely, she had challenged him once and she lost after a week of continuous eating meat, R.I.P the poor animals that became their food.
Carrion who was standing nearby whistled, "Well that's surprising, this guy?" he asked pointing at Galahad with a slight grin. "Why doesn't he look more like a man then?" he asked grinning widely, if he ate even more than Milim than he should have more muscles! Luminous folded her arms, "Hmph! Says the man who lost the drinking competition." she said smirking at him, she remembered that competition a few hundred years ago.
Carrion froze before his smile twitched, "How about we forget that?" he asked still smiling. Galahad looked at him before, "Heh. not man enough." he said smirking making even more veins pop out on Carrion's forehead, "Alright that's it! Wait a bit." he said walking off, he was going to have a rematch! Rimuru just sat on his seat looking at them surprised, these guys were supposed to be the terrifying Demon Lords.
A few moments later,
"CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" Guy, Ramiris, and Milim were cheering surrounding Galahad, Carrion and for some reason Leon and Shion who were drinking one after the other. Hell even Dagruel was there with Luminous looking to the side barely holding back her laughter at their actions. He laughed dryly, "What is going on anymore?" he wondered out loud, he expected some serious discussions to take place.
Frey looked at him with a slight smile, "I bet you expected them to be more dignified?" she asked amused with her arms folded, Rimuru nodded, "Well yes." he said looking at her curiously. Frey shrugged and shook her head, "Well I did too, but this is basically what happens and then I have to carry that guy back too." she said pointing at Carrion who was swaying around.
"I can shti- I shan..agh." Carrion fell down face first, he was knocked out by the drinks. All of them looked at him for a few moments before, "YEAHH!!" most of them cheered throwing their food up and looking at the people who were drinking. Galahad even after drinking several kegs sat there completely unfazed making Rimuru wonde how he was doing it.
Luminous walked over to her seat and sat down before she continued looking on amused with what was going on. Rimuru wanted to discuss some things with Galahad but he didn't get the chance so he looked to Luminous, "Can I ask why your people attacked me?" he asked a bit agitated by their invasion.
Luminous shrugged, "How would I know? They mostly move by themselves I don't even intervene." she said keeping her gaze at the ongoing competition, she never interfered with the Church's matters so she was actually innocent in this matter.....well as innocent as she could be. Rimuru sighed, according to Raphael the girl wasn't lying either so it really wasn't her fault, she was a beauty too so Rimuru didn't want to press her too much. (A/N: This happened in canon too, he didn't ask for much compensation because she was in his words, 'a beautiful lady'.)
He sighed before shaking his head, he didn't actually lose anything in that war not a single casualty or anything. Galahad's maid dealt with everything single handedly, which is why Rimuru owed Galahad and would do his best to repay the favor. A few minutes later Leon also passed out followed by Shion except Galahad didn't stop drinking.
Guy waved her hand in front of his face, "Oy! Galahad!" she asked slapping him once to check it before, "Fuck." he was drunk too! Just that his face didn't show it. "He's out!" she said as all the others looked at him for a few moments before cheering. Luminous sliently stood up and put a hand on his shoulder, "I'll take him back, Guy will rape him in his sleep so please understand." she said bowing a bit as the others nodded, that was actually plausible.
Rimuru looked at them slackjawed, but just as Luminous teleported away Rimuru noticed it, why was the vampire girl breathing heavily?!
